In the 2009 romantic comedy “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” New York City journalist and shopping addict Rebecca Bloomwood starts working for a financial magazine after an email mix-up. Ironically, Rebecca writes in a column aimed to caution and educate everyday consumers about financial responsibility. Eventually, Rebecca’s ever-increasing debt and deception catch up to her, and she must make a change in order to save her career and reputation as a journalist.
Like Rebecca, warehouse storage operations have had to make changes — though it isn’t due to a shopping addiction. It’s because consumers now demand a greater selection and availability of products.
